I was away for the last one and am thrilled to learn that I will be around for the seventh annual walk from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m., Saturday and Sunday, Dec. 1-2. My goal is to be one of the first people in attendance and see everything!

Jingletown is full of a wonderful community of creative artists, most of whom open their studios and sell and exhibit during this weekend. The area has some great galleries and art centers, including the Gray Loft Gallery, the Institute of Mosaic Art, Apples & Oranges Gallery and the Float Gallery.
